Abstract
A Comparative Study of Organization and Administration
of Selected UPE and Six Private Fee-Paying
Primary Schools in Zaria L.G.A. of Kaduna State.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the
believe that private, fee-paying primary schools in
Zaria L.G.A. of Kaduna State have higher academic standard
than the UPE schools in the same area. Specifically,
the study focused on the organizational and administrative
variables, such as school finance, curricular
activities, staffing, superrvision, learning facilities
and school-community relations, that were considered
capable of stimulating differences in academic attainment
between the two types of schools,
The study was considered necessary for providing
empirical evidence for clarifying the issue of which
type of primary school offers what quality of education
and for generating data that can enhance greater understanding
of the relationship between the variables
investigated and the achievement of the objectives of
primary education in the area under study.
A proportionate random sampling method was used in
selecting the 252 UPE Headmasters and headmistresses who
constituted part of the sample population of the
study. All the Headmasters and Headmistresses of the
six private fee-paying primary schools in Zaria L.G.A,
re included in the sample.
Questionnaire, interview and documents were used
in collecting data while tables and percentages were
adopted as methods of analysis. Eight hypotheses
were stated and analysed in the light of the findings.
Some of the major findings are:
(1) Private fee-paying primary schools in Zaria
L.G.A. recorded higher percentages of success
than the UPE schools in the Common Entrance
Examination Results for 1981/32 and 1982/83

(2) There were more- qualified teachers in the
private fee-paying primary schools than there
were in the UPE schools.
(3) Teachers in the private fee-paying primary
schools had better conditions of service than
their UPE schools' counterparts.
(4) There was greater teacher turnover rate in the
UPE schools than in the private fee-paying
primary schools.
(5) Supervision of teachers and pupils in the
private fee-paying schools was better organized
and more frequent than the case was
with the UPE Schools.
(6) There was gre parental participation in
the affairs of private fee-paying primary
schools than the case was with the UPE
schools.
These findings may not be generalized beyond the
area under study.
